Abstract

The corrosion behavior of three martensitic/ferritic oxide dispersed strengthened (ODS) steels with different chromium contents (respectively 9, 14 and 18wt %) has been studied in hot and concentrated nitric acid. Immersion and electrochemical tests have been carried out in different experimental conditions (temperature and nitric acid concentration). In each case, the corrosion kinetics has been characterized by mass loss measurement of samples (immersion tests) and the electrochemical behavior by linear sweep voltammetry techniques. The dependency of the corrosion rate with the chromium content in the steel, the nitric acid concentration and the temperature, has been quantitatively established and qualitatively discussed.
